"Brothers Judd" deletes comments - 7/02/2006

... Denver Post collaborated with the Mexican government and helped them spread pro-illegal immigration propaganda to their readers. Click the link for more on that paper. In that light, one might understand why they'd falsely identify Lamm and Tancredo as "immigration foes" and talk of "nativists". And, one can understand why they fail to understand the fundamental differenc...

A liberal immigration policy - 6/20/2006

From author Po Bronson: ...Liberals like me have ignored the way the steady trickle of new Americans has become a massive repopulation program, primarily from Mexico. During the 1970s, 120,000 Mexicans came to the U.S. every year. During the 1980s, it was about 200,000 a year. During the 1990s, it was 350,000 a year. Today, it's estimated at 485,000a

John Huntsman, a supporter of Bu...

Mexico keeps foreign-born from working at thousands of jobs - 5/22/2006

From this: If Arnold Schwarzenegger had migrated to Mexico instead of the United States, he couldn't be a governor.

An interview with a former Border Patrol Supervisor is here: Because the U.S. Government is so eager to please foreign interests, particularly Mexican interests, Border patrol managers allow the Mexican Consulates to intrude far beyond the requirements of the treaties. There is no requirement under the treaties that the Consuls have access to aliens before they are interrogated, processed or even...

New York Times goes nuts over immigration - 5/15/2006

That rag provides "Border Illusions": President Bush's speech from the Oval Office last night was not a blueprint for comprehensive immigration reform. It was a victory for the fear-stricken fringe of the debate. Because, we know that anyone who supports the sovereignty of this nation is simply driven by fear. Rather than standing up for truth, Mr.

Sam Brownback's false compassion - 4/09/2006

Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) supports illegal immigration and giving an amnesty to those illegal aliens currently here out of "humanitarian" grounds.

The Mexican government's plan for the United States - 4/04/2006

There's a lot of racism swirling around the immigration "debate", and not always of the kind that's obvious.
